1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 General This document is valid as of Dragon PTN Release 3.0DR. The 4-CODIR interface module (=IFM) can transport four 64 kbps links, point-to-point over the Dragon PTN network according the ITU G.703 standard, see §2.2.2 for more information. 4-CODIR refers to ‘4 ports –...

2. MODULE DESCRIPTION 2.1 Front Panel Fastening screw Handle Spare LEDs Port 1, 2, 3, 4: 64 kbps ports Figure 3 Front Panel 2.1.1 Handle a. Insert the Module into the Node Take the front panel handles to insert or slide the module into the Dragon PTN node. Push the module thoroughly into the node’s backplane.
2.1.2 LEDs The meaning of the LEDs depends on the mode of operation (= boot or normal) in which the 4-CODIR module currently is running. After plugging in the module or rebooting it, the module turns into the boot operation, see Table 2. After the module has gone through all the cycles in the table below (=rebooted successfully), the module turns into the normal operation, see LEDs in Table 3.

2.2.2 ITU-T G.703 Code Conversion 64kbps The ITU-T G.703 standard defines for the 64 Kbps codirectional interface the following five steps for AMI coding (step1->5) / decoding (step5->1) a binary data stream: 1. (network side) A 64 kbps bit period is divided into four unit intervals; 2.

Hitless Switching is a redundant mechanism but differs from Protection Switching, see the table below for an overview. So if redundancy is needed in the service, either choose Hitless Switching or Protection Switching, mixing up both mechanisms is not allowed. Depending on the choice, settings must be done at tunnel creation time and/or service creation time.
if the slowest path came up first: the CES starts up according to the slowest path; no CES interrupt or packet loss when the fastest path comes up later on; See §2.2.7 for a delay comparison within CES depending on the enabled sub features, see also further on.

Figure 15 Hardware Edition 3. TDM FRAMES/PACKET 3.1 General In a CES service, the amount of TDM Frames per Ethernet packet is an important setting because it influences the amount of consumed bandwidth and delay through the network. The more TDM Frames/Packet, the less bandwidth is used but the bigger the total delay through the network.
Path Delay: Delay from source to destination over the MPLS-TP network path; can be measured by HiProvision via OAM delay measurement for the specific service; Path Delay = Delay external network (if any) + 5µs/km + 10µs/node; DP (=Depacketization Delay): Delay to decode MPLS-TP packets into 64 kbps output; DPh: Extra Depacketizing Delay due to hitless switching;...
3.3.3 Estimated Delay Calculation and Formulas Table 8 shows formulas to calculate an estimated delay. Once you have the desired estimated delay, fill out the parameter values in HiProvision, which shows the calculated ‘P+DP+DPh’.

When Differential Delay is very important for your application, we strongly advise to: Not use Hitless Switching with Single Path (§2.2.6), all the other modes are OK; Use SAToP (=future) (§2.2.3) when the differential delay must be as low as possible: Maximum differential delay SAToP: 157 µs;...
